TANYA DONTATELLI, Herbalist & owner of oak fairy apothecary

“In my three years at Twin Star, I have found it to be an invaluable resource for herbal knowledge, experience, and community. I have made lifelong friends out of both people and plants, and Lupo and Bekah do an amazing job of helping each individual student find their place in the craft. Twin Star made it possible for me to understand the call I've been hearing to herbalism my whole life, and I am forever grateful for it!”

STARS OF THE EARTH ASTROLOGICAL HERBALISM + FLOWER ESSENCE RETREAT

with Lupo & our Friends at Wild Ginger Community Herbal Center

Join us in the abundant Talamanca region of Costa Rica (again!) for an Introduction to Astrological Herbalism & Flower Essences. This eight night intensive will be spent working with the astrological elements, modes, planets and signs as well as the flowers, leaves, stems and roots of our beloved plant allies. As we honor the ancient dance of both earth and sky, we will be taking what we learn from the jungle and native plants and couple it with the time worn wisdom of the stars and the planets. Working directly with the beautiful tropical flora that surrounds the Caribe Sur we will build a deep and meaningful relationship to this long proven pairing. Additionally, will have the chance to learn local herbal and food ways with an amazing local Afro-Costa Rican herbalist!

HEATHER WRIGHT FITZGERALD, Herbalist & owner of tea & tarot

“Twin Star showed up in my life when I most needed community. After only one class, I felt like I had come home. I've spent the last 4+ years taking anything and everything I've had time for. I've learned a wealth of herbal knowledge, and been introduced to topics I would never have known without them. Lupo's style is engaging, pulling you out of the classroom and into nature so you can experience herbalism in person, firsthand whenever possible. I have genuinely loved every class I have ever taken and look forward to taking many others in the future!”

FROM THE VERY BEGINNING IT HAS BEEN THE GREEN WITCH WHO HAS BEEN THE KEEPER OF THE HEALING PLANTS AND THE ANCIENT WAYS. FROM THE SMALLEST VILLAGE TO THE LARGEST CITY ACROSS THE GLOBE, COMMON FOLK HAVE SOUGHT THEM OUT AND RELIED UPON THEIR REMEDIES & ADVICE.

Join us in remembering the Herbal Witch within. This weekend course was designed to walk each participant through what it is to practice as a Herbal Witch. Beginning with the History of world-wide Green Witch Traditions, working with the directions & elements to create powerful spells, prayers, magic, rituals, ceremonIES, and song. Deepening our relationships WITH Mother Nature and the magical and medicinal herbs She provides.

THIS COURSE IS MEANT TO EMPOWER FOLKS TO UTILIZE THE MAGIC AND MAGNIFICENCE OF HERBAL WITCHCRAFT EACH AND EVERYDAY!
